The Jungle Marathon, arguably the world's toughest race, is a 254km multi-stage, unsupported ultra-endurance race through the heart of the Amazon Jungle. Along with 76 competitors from 22 different countries, Amanda Barlow leaves the comforts of home behind to spend a week racing through the deep Amazon Jungle with just a hammock and a backpack. Every day provides new challenges and unpredictable obstacles in oppressive heat and humidity that will test her physical and mental resolve to their limits. The ninth running of The Jungle Marathon would prove to be a race like no other, with a controversial finish to Stage 4 igniting a cascading sequence of events that no-one saw coming. The race director faces some tough decisions that would see her and her team work tirelessly through the night to re-route the final stages in an effort to protect the competitors from unpredictable dangers that were never meant to be a part of this race. The future of The Jungle Marathon hinges on the outcome of the final grueling stages and the revelations of what has transpired behind the scenes stuns the physically drained competitors, with the next 24 hours dividing the loyalties of competitors and organizers alike. One thing is for sure - the runners who remain and cross the finish line of the 6th and final stage of the race will surely deserve their medal!

Ray Zahab was always the last to be picked for team games. Eventually, he quit trying and as he got older, he took up smoking and drinking. But after his grandfather and uncle died, and his father suffered a stroke, Ray realized he had to take charge of his life. Ray gave up his destructive habits and started looking for new challenges. When he read about the 160-km Yukon ultramarathon, he knew he had to give it a try. Everyone thought he was crazy. Ray had never even run in a regular marathon. One ultramarathon quickly led to another and Ray now combines his zeal for the race with a passion for fundraising.

"After a decade-long addiction to crack cocaine and alcohol, Charlie Engle hit rock bottom after a near-fatal six-day binge ended in a hail of bullets. Then he found running, and it has helped keep him sober, focused and alive. He began to take on the most extreme endurance races, such as the 155-mile Gobi March, and developed a reputation as an inspirational speaker. However, after he made the documentary Running the Sahara, narrated by Matt Damon, which followed him on a 4500-mile crossing of the desert and helped raise $6 million, he was sent to prison after failing to complete his mortgage application properly. It was while he was in jail that he became known as 'The Running Man' as he pounded the prison yard, and soon his fellow inmates were joining him, finding new hope through running. Now, in his brilliantly written and powerful account, Engle tells the story of his life and how running has brought him so much pleasure and peace. Like such classics as Born to Runor Running with the Kenyans, this is a book that anyone who has ever found solace in the freedom of running will enjoy"--Google Books.
